I am grasping at straws now, but you could try (as root)

update-fonts-dir misc Type1 100dpi 75dpi

Then try the update-font-aliases command again:

update-fonts-alias misc Type1 100dpi 75dpi

(Note: Do not specify the full paths to the font directories for these
 two commands; see also their manpages.)
